A CLOSER LOOK
How to recognize it
Cooked fish paste formed into a cake and cut into pieces; one Gangmen method makes it springy by chopping fish and adding starch before pan-frying.
In the kitchen
Fish-cake pieces top Gangmen and Lingshui rice noodles.
One preparation uses mackerel; other versions should not be assumed to use the same fish or binders. The cake is distinct from uncooked fish paste and round fish balls.
